Hey, thanks for checking out the video and giving some feedback, mate! I'm definitely not a fan of the HDR imaging either, so I tend to lean towards not doing that. I really only do the multiple image merging when I absolutely have to. For example, if the view outside of the window is important, i.e., backyard space. I also figured if I ever made a part II to this video, I'd include techniques like that, as well as drone photography & post-processing. If you have anything else you think would be good in that video, let me know, and I'll try and add it in. Thanks again, mate! 🥃

@ thank you seńor!

From the research I’ve done I don’t believe that the Helios lenses are radioactive. Please correct me if I’m wrong?

Thanks for checking out the video mate! I really appreciate the feedback.

You don’t like Maison Sauvage & Saint-Germain-des-Prés?

Yea i've been looking into the FX3 as a replacement for our R5's. I just need to do way more research before committing to it. It's hard to pull the pin when all your lenses, SD cards etc are all Canon. Although, the R6ii & i'm sure the R6iii will be amazing replacements for our main video cameras. Tough decision.

@@braydenjohn_ I totally get you , I actually had the fx3 before I got the C70 and for some reason (could be that I'm used to canon work flow) I just seem to like the C70 better and easier to get good colours. When I look at other C70 folks ( eg Runaway Vows or Wild Oak Films) who moved over to Sony I still prefer their C70 work, but this could be a personal preference. FUJI is also another. brand to explore !

Yea I recently watched the Runaway Vows change to Sony explanation & thought he made some good points. The dual native ISO would be game changing. I'm liking the colours i'm seeing some people pull out of their FX3's, however it seems to be the most common piece of advice i'm getting, that colour grading Sony is still more work than Canon.

Yup, definitely will be trying before I buy. Most videographers I see with Sony gear seem to rig it out with the small rig handles off to the side, so you must not be the only one with that problem. That's an interesting point about the color grading with Sony. One of the main reasons I would want to switch to Sony is the image i'm seeing a lot of people be able to produce from them is really nice. So I thought the color science issue with Sony must have been fixed over the years.

Hey @kaiquemendes1 thanks for watching and giving some recommendations. I just looked up the A7IV and it looks pretty good! Im assuming the A7S III is better for video for the low megapixel / better low light capabilities?

That sounds like an awesome setup. I have heard great things about the S5II. We originally shot weddings on the GH5 back in the day, maybe it’s time to go back to Panasonic. Thanks for checking out the video and giving some recommendations!

Sláinte Mhath! Thanks for checking out the video mate! Really appreciate it! I was super impressed with how some of the footage from Iceland came out in the grade. Thanks for the feedback & following along! 🥃

Hey Eddie! Thanks for watching the video! You definitely won’t regret the upgrade to the f1.2 if you decide to pick one up, it’s an incredible lens. I can’t speak highly enough of the Helios 44 either, amazing little lens for some creative shots.

Thanks Brayden. Always another expensive lens decision to make! @@braydenjohn_

Thanks for subscribing to the channel! Love India & hope to return there one day!

Why does this film make you ask that question?

@@braydenjohn_ its bad.. Really bad. I never saw anyone taking a half decent photo with it. I know its cheap.. But it looks too bad

Thanks for the checking out the video and leaving some recommendations! I’ll be making a part II of this soon with all the good B&W photographer & film recommendations I’ve received., so thanks very much

If I buy Dehancer. Can i use dehancer on Davinci Resolve free version? Thank you!

@@DaveAMarin Indeed you can!

Thanks for checking out the video mate! Yea 💯 check it out 🥃

Thanks for checking out the video mate! 💯 it is an amazing tool to work with when colour grading. It seems to work pretty well with Rec.709 footage and even better on log / RAW footage. Definitely worth checking out! Maybe try it out first and make sure it works for you. Thanks again, Cheers! 🍻

Works every time!

Yohohoho

Hey, thanks for checking out the video! That's really interesting about The Man from Uncle; I will have to check it out! Completely agree; anything that I've seen shot in B&W definitely makes you pay attention and you appreciate every shot just that little bit more. Thanks again and cheers!

Hi Tim, Firstly, thank you for watching the video. Thanks for pointing out the affordability of Kentmere 400. I have addressed that with a few other people; the price seems to vary significantly depending on where you get it. Yes, I do spot meter for the shadows and expose accordingly. I quite like the film stock. I found it to be a pretty forgiving stock with plenty of latitude. But to each their own! Do you have any recommendations for other black-and-white film stocks you have used?

Cheers mate!

😂 he’s no Sogeking

Hey Khan, yea that sounds about right. The price does seem to vary significantly depending on where you go here. From what I’ve seen it can fluctuate anywhere from around $15 - $50 AUD ($10-$33 USD) I didn’t nail the price point in that video I spoke quite broadly so thank you for the feedback & thanks for checking out the video!

@@braydenjohn_ damn they hella expensive there. Do you have prices I can compare too cause like I pay $6.50 usd a roll normally so tryna see how up charged you guys get. Crazy difference

Definitely a bit more expensive by the sounds of it. This isn’t verbatim, but during my recent time in Paris I recall hearing an American in store commenting on the price increase with film as compared to the US (Portra 400 for example was €24.90 per roll)

Seems everything in Europe is like $10 upcharge. Wonder why. Like here Portra 400 rolls are still around $16

¿Why don't you make a video for yourself and close your big mouth? thanks john for your video!

Hi Toby, Thanks for checking out the video and providing some really good feedback. The photographers and cinematographers you’ve referenced are definitely incredible, and if I make Part II, I’ll be sure to include them. Firstly, I believe I touched on Jean-Luc Godards use of wheelchairs and other means to incorporate movement of the camera in his films. This at the time was yes, a response to Hollywood cinema. A means for low-budget filmmaking that led to more filmmakers getting their films made. So, as you say, an emphasis on character and story telling. Secondly, I agree that B&W photography and cinematography are not just about nostalgia. The point I’m trying to make is that seeing it in most modern work will elicit this feeling in most people, and if you are going to utilise B&W, be mindful and intentional with the your approach to doing so. I appreciate your comments about my indoor photographs and your feedback. Thanks again for checking out my video!

Thanks for checking out my video Fernando!

Thanks mate! Appreciate you checking it out!

Thanks mate! Welcome aboard

Thanks for checking out the video mate! Apologies we are new to podcasting & figuring out the kinks to it. I’ll make adjustments to the next round of podcasts to be snappier and to the point. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it. Cheers 🍻

@@braydenjohn_ boom! You’re good blokes, I enjoyed listening! That said, let the dialogue begin! The R5ii is a pretty massive improvement over the original and I disagree wholeheartedly! Downsampled 1080 from 4k 10 bit in Canon Colors without using log. CLog 3 Improved Ibis 2k recording options (up to 240 fps I believe. These all would be massive for my workflow.

Yea, I agree with you that it has improved over the original R5. Clog 2 and Improved IBIS would be selling points for me personally. Having the option for 2K would be a welcomed improvement as well. For example, if you're able to switch back to this in place of 1080 when (if) it overheats, that would be a massive improvement. What do you primarily do with these cameras? My opinion mostly comes from the fact we need multiple of these cameras, so costing comes in. If I was just starting out, then for sure the R5 Mark II would be the go, as it is an undeniably more refined product.

@@braydenjohn_ specifically I exclusively shoot a volume of weddings! There is long catholic ceremonies which are low light, AND high dynamic range where the 1080 looks kinda bad but we don’t have storage for that much 4k. So the 2k and other downsampled options would be perfect. I just found out they have horizon leveling as well- so handheld run & gun setups with user registered subject detect would lock on to a bride on the go. And I think even the 709 Canon profiles can be recorded in 10 bit for when I don’t need log. 4 audio channels for multi subject interviews direct to camera. Dude, its insane, it checks every box and then some!

Additionally, the 2k has a fine mode Downsampled from 8k. That wouldn’t do much to prevent overheating but would look awesome and keep file sizes down, I’m sold af

Always 🍻

It really is a great lens, It's lucky to leave my camera lately. It's really interesting to see your take on Melbourne using this glass.

Which is weird since fuji 400 is still different from kodak ultramax

That’s super interesting. I’ll be honest I didn’t know that. I do think they are incredibly similar looking films stocks. However the images I got back from them I’d say the Kodak 200 gold is still a tad warmer.

@@Covernak Yeah, it seems like it's slightly different during testing, not sure what is going there, maybe Kodak is using an old Ultramax emulsion for that

@@braydenjohn_ Yeah, I'm wondering if that has to do with the lab processing, with bias towards warmer colors because of how Kodak Gold would compare to Fujifilm 200 (which had greener tones)

It’s definitely a distinct look these old lenses give off. That’s very interesting about the Schneider-Kreuznach & Curtigon Lenses, what work are you doing with them?

@braydenjohn_ I use them mostly for landscape and architectural. Sometimes for street and portrait work because the have depth of field scales.

💯 agree they are great lenses, particularly the Helios 44. Thanks for watching!

Thanks mate!

Thanks for watching! Completely agree, film rarely disappoints!

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it, thanks for watching!

The Canon R5

@@braydenjohn_ nice colors from Canon then. Next video please tag the camera in every photo samples that you show please hahah Nice work and video!

Thanks for the feedback mate! Will definitely do that in the next one! Really appreciate it, cheers! 🍻
